Bright top-floor one-bedroom apartment offering low-maintenance contemporary living aimed at first-time buyers and commuters. The open-plan reception with kitchen and French doors onto a private balcony creates a light, sociable space for everyday life and occasional entertaining. Allocated off-street parking and immediate proximity to Braintree Railway Station make commuting straightforward.
Practical details are favourable: 112 years remaining on the lease, EPC C (80), mains gas central heating and double glazing. Annual costs include a service charge of £1,371.89 and ground rent of £350 per year; council tax is Band B (cheap). The building is modern (post-2012) with insulated cavity walls and solar panels present on the complex.
Buyers should note the local crime level is above average and the wider area classification is “hampered aspiration,” which may affect future resale values. The apartment is in generally good decorative condition but is an average-sized one-bedroom (528 sq ft) so storage and space are limited compared with larger homes.
This property will suit a single buyer or couple seeking a convenient, low-maintenance base with strong rail links to London. It also offers straightforward rental potential for investors due to location next to the station, though running costs and local profile should be factored into any buy-to-let calculation.
